From Miss Mary Mack to London Bridge, Ring Around the Rosie to hide-and-seek, they are all still here, and still waiting. Clapping games for two, ring-games for a whole grassy afternoon, and the counting-out rhymes that choose who is It.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe games are freely drawn from William Wells Newell’s landmark 1883 collection and retold for today: the scholarship set aside, the rhymes gently mended, and each game given a warm word and a plain how-to-play. Miss Mary Mack, all dressed in black, keeps the door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFreely drawn from William Wells Newell (1839–1907)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA new compilation of traditional games and songs, retold for children\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolocosmo Press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Lightbound Library\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaperback and hardcover, 6 × 9, 50 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Solocosmo Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50176436404472,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0845\/2433\/5352\/files\/miss-mary-mack.jpg?v=1786992705","url":"https:\/\/solocosmo.org\/products\/miss-mary-mack","provider":"solocosmo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
